I was sitting under a tree at the exit of turn 6 and saw the whole thing. He wasn't going that fast, got on the throttle too early and spun to the inside and hit the right front on the inside tire wall. It wasn't that hard of a hit. It was scarry to see the driver sitting there with his legs hanging out, totally exposed. I'm glad the corner workers got the rest of the cars slowed down. The driver was Federico Kroymans, the Ferrari and Maserati importer for the Netherlands, the car is a F399. He was able to get himself out of the car and limp around. He is tall and a bit overweight, so I wonder if they modified the monoque for him to fit. It was a clean break at the bulkhead where the steering wheel attaches. I didn't take any pictures, it seemed kinda sick to...

He walked to the side of the track under his own power and the safety crew put an ice pack on one of his legs. He also walked to the safety vehicle and then to the Chrysler 300C course cars that took him back to the paddock. It wasn't a very fast hit, which is why it is so surprising that the front snapped off at the bulkhead.
I felt ill while he sat there with his legs hanging out and one could hear the other F1 cars approaching. Two of the other drivers stopped to help him before the safety car came.
He was very lucky indeed, if it had been a higher speed impact, he wouldn't be walking
